As well as the fine, FIFA demanded that Granqvist stop giving free exposure to a brand they don’t have a multi-million-pound sponsorship deal with.

However, the 33-year-old persisted and, despite adding a cursory layer of yellow tape to his ankles for the quarter-final against England, it was still fairly obvious that he was wearing his spotty Trusox.

As such, it looks like Granqvist is set to be hit with another enormous fine for breaching FIFA equipment rules for the second time in as many weeks.

Once again, we remind you that Russia were fined £7,600 last week for a Nazi banner being unfurled during the group stage tie against Uruguay.
